    Measures - (Height) 71cm/28"

    A magnificent seated bronze antique Laos style Buddha Shakyamuni.

    Buddhism was introduced to Laos around the 8th century and has since become a cornerstone of Laotian culture. The religion's influence permeates various aspects of daily life, including art, architecture, and social customs. The Laotian Meditation Buddha, with its unique stylistic elements, embodies the synthesis of Buddhist philosophy and indigenous artistic traditions.

    During different periods, particularly the Lan Xang Kingdom (14th to 18th centuries), Laotian artisans developed a distinct style that set their work apart from neighboring regions such as Thailand and Cambodia. This era saw the creation of numerous Buddha images, with the Meditation Buddha being one of the most revered.

    This Laotian Meditation Buddha is characterized by several distinctive features that reflect both its religious significance and the artistic sensibilities of Laotian culture:

    Facial Expression and Features:

    Serenity: The face of the Laotian Meditation Buddha exudes tranquility and inner peace. The eyes are typically half-closed, gazing downward in a meditative state, symbolizing introspection and enlightenment.

    Facial Structure: The Buddha's face is elongated with a gentle, serene smile. The eyebrows are gracefully arched, and the nose is finely proportioned, contributing to the overall sense of calm and grace.

     

    Posture and Hand Gestures (Mudras):

    Meditative Pose: The Buddha is depicted in the dhyana mudra, the gesture of meditation. In this pose, the Buddha sits cross-legged with both hands resting on the lap, palms facing upward, and the right hand resting on the left. This mudra signifies concentration and the attainment of spiritual perfection.

    Body Proportions: The body of the Laotian Meditation Buddha is slender and elongated, reflecting an idealized form that emphasizes spiritual rather than physical attributes. The seated posture is stable and balanced, reinforcing the theme of inner peace.


    Attire and Ornamentation:

    Monastic Robes: The Buddha is dressed in simple monastic robes that drape elegantly over the body. These robes are depicted with fine detailing that highlights the folds and contours, symbolizing the renunciation of worldly attachments.

    Simplicity: Unlike some other Southeast Asian Buddha images, the Laotian Meditation Buddha is generally less adorned with elaborate jewelry or headdresses, emphasizing simplicity and humility.

     The Buddha is seated on a large, boat pedestal in traditional Laotian style. 

    The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. He has a large lotus flower shaped ushnisha protuberance on top of his head, symbolizing his high level of spiritual development. The lotus flower represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all. 

    The Laotian Meditation Buddha stands as a beacon of tranquility and spiritual wisdom, embodying the core values of Buddhism and the artistic excellence of Laotian culture. Its serene expression, meditative posture, and symbolic elements make it a powerful representation of the quest for enlightenment.

    As we continue to explore and appreciate this iconic figure, we gain deeper insights into the spiritual and cultural fabric of Laos, enriching our understanding of this beautiful and timeless art form.
